| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Phil, it is sad indeed to behold how the masses of the DAC afflicted are surrounded by unscrupulous individuals and companies that foster their doom and feed on their despair. From mysterious corporations that promise the poor wretches audio nirva... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? 711, your humor is contageous. Yet, let's all try to avoid playing at 'MY DAC'S BIGGER'N YOURS!"Doc Luke, Audiophilia Nervosa is an extremely debilitating hereditary condition. It is more formally known as Degenerative Audiophilic Chorea (DAC). It... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Dear Richard, I defend your right to post to this or any other thread and enlighten us with your obvious knowledge, and experience in the matter at hand as soon as you have found in yourself the fortitude to participate in the spirit that his thre... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions I have just called Audio Research. I have confirmation that Ref 3's price is the same as the older Ref 2 Mk.2. This is welcome news inddeed, as I was fearing/expecting/dreading a higher price. The product is being shown in Vegas at CES as I write.... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? DBLD, I couldn't have said it better myself. in fact last night I wrote, then deleted, a much less eloquent version of your post. I would invite Richard, Dan and others to post and contribute with their knowledge to our enjoyment. Alex posted his ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Doc, by the way, PSCIALLI does own a Musical Fidelity tube output stage, and I hope he will soon try it out on his new ModWright. I know he did applied it to his former Denon 2200, and it did improve the sound of that particular unit to some extent. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Thank you Doc Luke, you are correct in inferring that musicality may mean different things to different people. I was perhaps overreacting to your just slightly barbed suggestion of elitism among the longtimers of this thread and I could not resis... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Oh well, companies that have strong market presence with products with unique personalities will always be a little controversial and become the favorite topic of animated discussions. On the other hand, I hope we will be able to keep the bulk of ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions MCHD1, I know AR introduced a REF2 Mk2 within 1 year from the Ref 2, but was the event typical and part of a past pattern, or rather unique instead? On the other hand ARC has consistently offered upgrade paths to move users of its devices up the r... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Luke, thank you so much for your offer to contribute without being argumentative. For this very reason, I may decide to ignore the fact that you may be confusing transient response and coherence across frequency range with what you call 'timing an... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Downunder, the Ref 3 hasn't made it even to the ARC site yet. We will likely see it at CES this week for the very first time. You can expect a Mk.2 version of it in anywhere from 2 to 4 years if at all. | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions OK, I want it! I want it! I want it!It's time to start throwing those hissy fit tantrums with my wife--who by the way could not care less about my righteous audio yearnings!Jokes asides, the specs sound very impressive. At least on the page referr... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Where did you find info about Ref 3? the Audio Research site does not have any mention of it yet. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TBG, the great value of the shootouts is not so much in a hypothetical consensuality of the results, but in the activity itself, and the miriad of observations made during it. I find it perfectly acceptable that after the current round the team se... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TBG, if the Chicago gang and its remote members find them enjoyable, rewarding, uplifting, revealing, exciting, an a welcome escape from dayly drudgery etc. . . the shootouts are useful, at least to them/us. In life very few things are actually fo... |
